Cuminiyya

A recipe I got from my mother-in-law and that I absolutely loved. I will post pics when I make it again and remember to take pics.

Recipe:
1) Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on high heat.
2) Add cubed beef (I used low fat beef and was still delicious and very tender) and mix around until it's dark gold.
3) Add 5 chopped garlics
4) Add enough water to cover the beef, salt and pepper to taste, and two teaspoons of cumin
5) Reduce heat to low until beef is tender.

Serve with rice and fattoush salad.

Vegetarian Dishes

Some vegetarian dishes I made recently:

1) Hummus Fatteh

Pros: Super easy, delicious, and all ingredients were things I usually have lying around
Recipe here

2) Stuffed Zucchini

I had some zucchinis lying around, so tried out THIS RECIPE. Husband loved it. (I used Halloumi cheese instead of Parmesan).

3) Turkish Eggplant Mezze

Here's an Eggpland Recipe I'll definitely make again!! Very easy and was great as a side with fish and rice. Some changes I made to make it a little healthier: (1) roasted the eggplants instead of frying them; (2) Used only fresh tomatoes (4 of them) chopped up; and (3) added some chopped parsley at the end.
